This book presents a contrary view. Drawing on various datasets, it reveals a disconnect between the popular commentary and the empirical reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Trust Gap suggests that the most extreme cases -- such as the US and the UK -- distort our thinking about trust. It looks beyond trust in government to examine trust in a range of institutions, including courts, universities and the media.
